one brick
It is great to be a thinker
but one must base one’s conclusions
on facts not assumption
If someone gives you a brick
don’t go and build a house with it
and then accuse him or her of that house
for they only gave you a brick
The brick may have been part of
a wall, a walkway, a BBQ pit
or anything else
but you assumed a house
and now the only part that is true
is what they gave you
the rest is a lie
that you believe and now run with
In fact if you choose to live
in the house of suppositions
built on foundation
of faulty conjecture
you live there alone
If you choose to move out
and tear it down
brick by brick, lie by lie
you will do it alone
For only one brick was truth
The one in the corner
that you threw away
for the many lies
you traded it in for
Pride and arrogance
makes us jump to conclusions
for we think more of ourselves
than we ought to
therefore less of others
than we should
